The latest racket is the use of PRP, or platelet rich plasma. This is supposed to contain stem cells, which have ” miraculous ” properties, which can treat anything and everything ! After all, stems cells are magical – they can transform themselves into any kind of cell in the body, because they are the original progenitor  cells !
This is why andrologists now inject PRP into the testes of hapless infertile men with testicular failure, to ” help them” to produce sperm; and gynecologists inject PRP into the ovaries of infertile women with premature ovarian failure, to help them to produce eggs ! To add insult to injury, they charge an arm and a leg for this “treatment” !
The major problem is that PRP is extremely easy to do – hair transplant surgeons use it routinely all the time, and IVF specialists now want to get on the bandwagon ! It’s tragic that ” PRP treatment ” has become such a farce today !
